Our improved device will automate the gluing process to increase production speed, while still having workers carry out part of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:30px\">Design Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, gluing machines apply a thin film of glue to a surface, such as a piece of paper, and most will transfer that paper onto a product, often to cylindrical products. For our proposed device, we want to develop a semi-automated wet gluing machine to glue and label the bitters bottles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">Original Device<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"931\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195382\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1.png 931w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-768x476.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On the device that is currently used, the label is placed on the roll coater with glue and then the spindle is rotated. The label is then carefully placed on the bottle and rolled. The bottle neck and bottom are crimped. The current device and process have daily, weekly, and yearly maintenance. At the end of each workday, the device is soaked in hot water and the glue scrubbed clean. Additionally, the spindle, which wears down, is wire-scrubbed weekly to maintain ridges that pick up the glue. Yearly, the spindle and rod are replaced due to wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">Automation Prototyping<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Picture2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195552\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:400px\" title=\"Picture1.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Picture2.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Picture2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The team performed baseline testing and prototyping on the original device after we received an extra unit from ArcWorks. We designed a shaft coupling (above) to connect the geared motor to the spindle knob for the glue application roller and incorporated a \u00be inch idler to help guide labels through the glue application roller. The glue application process was tested by each team member and timed during sitting and standing variations without the idler. 10 samples were recorded from each team member per variation and an FMEA analysis was performed.&nbsp; After motorizing the glue application roller, 10 trials were recorded at maximum speed (~211rpm) and the average gluing speed was recorded and compared to our manual testing. Results showed a significant improvement in labeling speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">Idle Roller Prototyping<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/slidesz\/AGV_vUddL4wPvVH8vthoWWoWtJ3k53JuHZH65EyLu2SWZ4tvH5WscIpT2528kcfdi8LpJA7ovuDsp66oO1pjqQ6fcaNR4KQ_mQRImkUGQizRhytN673XlQhICZU9rtEbXFZyXWZRi1e-NrqEDvpcZEJ1dA=s2048?key=jIUOhhokSlZnmJ1NRfEpAHZU\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:500px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Through continued experimentation and iterations of our design, we identified that the most significant issue at this stage is the lack of a downward force to press the water-glued label onto the bottle. During testing, labels often failed to adhere to the bottle and instead rotated along with the lower roller, eventually sticking to the roller itself. We explored several designs for the top component, including slanted flat plates and semi-circular surfaces, but none of these produced satisfactory results. As a result, we revisited the idea of incorporating an idler. Unlike the previous version, the new idler is the same size as the lower roller and positioned directly above the bottle. During a simulation where one team member manually held the idler in place due to limitations in our frame design, we observed promising results. Based on this outcome, we decided to include the idler in our final prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">Base Prototyping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-564bceef wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized wp-container-content-7fd912ad\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1019\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195512\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 1019w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-768x592.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1019px) 100vw, 1019px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized wp-container-content-7fd912ad\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1103\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195522\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1.png 1103w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1-1024x693.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1-768x519.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1103px) 100vw, 1103px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized wp-container-content-7fd912ad\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195532\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2.png 562w, https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Above are the three iterations of the base for the glue well that we went through.
